BRICS leaders have expressed serious concern over the growing risks of nuclear conflict, particularly in the context of deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In the 'New Delhi Declaration' adopted during the BRICS Summit, held in India, the leaders emphasized the need to uphold nuclear safety, even in armed conflicts, to protect people and the environment.
The declaration also highlighted the importance of strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime through invigorating disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation efforts, as well as supporting existing nuclear-weapon-free zones and their associated assurances.
